Winter solitude—
in a world of one color
the sound of wind.
Basho (From yama-bato)
Eternity is not infinity.
It is not a long time.
It does not begin at the end of time.
It does not run parallel to time.
In its entirety it always was.
In its entirety it will always be.
It its entirely present always.

Yasutani Roshi used to explain enlightenment as—and these are his words—“the direct awareness that you are more than this puny body or limited mind. Stated negatively, it is the realization that the universe is not external to you. Positively, it is experiencing the universe as yourself”.

“God made the senses turn outwards, man therefore looks outwards,
not into himself. But occasionally a daring soul, desiring immortality,
has looked back and found himself.”
